Abstract

This study investigates the issues of feminism in Lorene Scafaria's "Hustlers" movie and explores the concept of women empowerment in the same context.Feminism is often interested in the way women are represented in the media. In "Hustlers", researchers might explore how female characters are portrayed, whether they are empowered or enslaved, whether they break traditional gender stereotypes, or whether they remain within stereotypical boundaries. Using Beauvoir's (2016) theory to analyze issues of feminism and Sushama Sahay's (1998) theory to analyze women's empowerment in film, this study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. Through in-depth analysis, this study identified five liberal feminisms, three Marxist and socialist feminisms, three radical feminisms, five cultural feminisms, two economic feminisms, and five women's empowerments that appear in the context of "Hustlers". The findings provide rich insights into the representation of feminism in popular media and its contribution to the understanding of women in contemporary society.Keywords: Feminism, Women Empowerment, Hustlers.

Abstract

This study investigates secondary school students’ responses to the integration of YouTube Shorts and Microsoft Copilot AI in English grammar learning, assessed through the CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) model. Motivated by students’ declining interest in grammar and the limitations of traditional instructional methods, this research explores the pedagogical potential of combining short-form educational videos with AI-driven chatbots. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, a CRAAP-based questionnaire was administered to a purposively selected Grade VIII class at UPT SMPN 33 Makassar following an AI-enhanced grammar learning intervention focusing on parts of speech and tenses. Results from 29 respondents revealed highly positive perceptions across all five CRAAP dimensions, with every statement receiving a “Strongly Agree” rating above 75%. Currency and Relevance emerged as the most endorsed aspects, while Authority and Purpose, though still positively rated, suggested the need for clearer source attribution. The findings indicate that the YouTube Shorts–Microsoft Copilot AI collaboration not only effectively supports grammar comprehension but also aligns with students’ digital preferences and fosters learner autonomy. This study affirms the value of integrating multimedia and AI in language education and encourages future efforts to enhance credibility, transparency, and long-term engagement with such tools.Keywords: English grammar learning, student responses, CRAAP model, AI, short video social media, YouTube Shorts, Microsoft Copilot AI.
